Whats your teams biggest plus? Biggest minus at the midseason point?

Cards:

Biggest Plus: Aledmys Diaz
Biggest minus: Everything else

Okay, well uh

Good: Veteran pickups(Loney, Cabrera) been very solid. Jeurys Familia, Cespedes
Bad: Matt Harvey, rest of the bullpen(besides Addison reed I guess) hitting in general, especially with runners in scoring position. The starting pitching needs to be absolutely lights out a lot of the time with the struggling offense, and lately especially a lot of the arms have been struggling

If Kershaw goes 20 wins, with a sub 1.8 era and 0.75 whip with a 10-1 K/BB ratio you're not just looking at MVP...you're looking at 2nd, maybe best season all time by a SP (99 Pedro right now is close).

But going based off the numbers, if he misses 2-3 starts, doesn't get 20 wins, era climbs above 2, then one of those Cubs will probably take it.

kershaw has had a good season, but please stop. right now kershaws best season is pedros 5th best

Good season is bit of an understatement. I agree that Pedro's 99 and 2000 are better years, but Kershaw this year falls right under and the year isn't over. It's crazy that with a 1.79 era he's actually UNDER PERFORMING. His FIP right now is actually lower, albeit by a small amount (1.70 FIP), but it shows that he actually is pitching that well. Not like Greinke last year with a FIP a full run higher than his 1.66 era.

Imagine if Cueto would have taken a one year deal, and put these numbers on the market this coming offseason.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Chris Sale to be AL starter.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Imagine if Cueto would have taken a one year deal, and put these numbers on the market this coming offseason.

Imagine him putting multiple seasons like that together and opting out after next year!

Even year this year. Next year he'll be terrible.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Apparently, the Marlins have the best grammar in the MLB based upon comments on SBNation team blogs, Cardinals the worst.

I mean, the Cardinals blog (viva el birdos) has an error in its name, so naturally comments follow suit

who ya got for the Derby tonight? looking for Stanton to hit a few bombas

 

[gamz]

He's the only reason I'm watching it.

Also, Arrieta said he's leaning on not pitching in the ASG. Good decision if true.

I would have rooted hard for MadBum, but now, I just don't care.

 

[User 479360]

So Gose simply cleared out his locker and left the premises? Wow.

I'm glad we got rid of that guy, and got someone good in return. He has baseball IQ issues.

He's still gathering his stamina. Second start over 7 innings. Need more of him. Already got our monies worth from him. But the second half of baseball is where we need him..

Seager is going to win the Derby for the Ravine.

 

[Silver Arrows]

I want Trumbo to win if only for the Thrice fanboy in me.

[MultiJhonny]

It better be Stanton and CarGo just dropping bombs.

That's what I want.

FALL OUT BOY

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Man, Fall Out Boy sucks even worse than they used to.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Fall Out Boy

in 2016

Might as well put ketchup on hot dogs for 5 minutes.

 

[Blitzrules240]

That song is such garbage.

Rooting for Stanton but last year, Frazier won me over. I just hope it's a good battle.

 

[Blitzrules240]

GET DUBSTEPPED SON.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Please tell me they put Chris Berman far, far away this time.

Just as I post this, he speaks

please STFU

 

[MultiJhonny]

They are gonna live DJ this?? Hahahaha what?

 

[Silver Arrows]

DEATH FROM ABOVE SON

 

[Chase17]

This is Berman's last year right?

Think I'll root for Stanton since why not

 

[element]

There is a stage on the field. What on earth is going on?

 

[Line_HTX]

At least this music is much more tolerable than the dubstep they were playing earlier.

 

[Blitzrules240]

Wil Myers might get the hometown advantage like Frazier did last year.

 

[Windu]

this is so awkward

 

[Chris R]

Berman? Looks like I made the right choice to not even set my dvr. Fucking hell ESPN.

 

[Blitzrules240]

Berman? Looks like I made the right choice to not even set my dvr. Fucking hell ESPN.

I think this is his last year at ESPN. Or something like that...

I can't wait for him to call the late MNF game in September Week 1 (ugh)

 

[Fox318]

I need to buy one of those padres hats for the yankees

 

[Windu]

can't wait for this to be over in 5 hours.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Who wants to bet he makes a Corey Seager/Bob Seger reference?

"Corey 'Silver Bullet' Seager just hit that one 'Like a Rock'!"
